Food During Winter In San Jose

SOMETHING NEW TO ME... and I learn how to cook them from my daughter-in-law.... 

Now I am back home, I cannot remember the names of these dishes.... Before I forget what I have eaten, I have this need to put these pictures up in my blog before they go permanently deleted in my folder.  

Looking back now, we did not eat out much, since everything could be obtained in the supermarkets, it is best to cook these food by ourselves.  

We love seafood... 
A pot of just prawns, mussels and clams.... 
The sauce consists of some butter, cajun and chili flakes... 
That is all I remember... LOL... 
Don't be deceived by the small quantity....
The seafood was very filling!
Next comes Korean... pancake with seafood... 
I made a mess out of it... 
Doesn't taste like what we ate in the Korean restaurant... 
LOL... 
This is Kimchi soup.... 
Does not look appetizing now...
But on a cold winter night, a hot pot of soup was very satisfying... 
Another dish my daughter-in-law made...
Rice balls with pieces of spam and spices... 
Made some chicken can soup and a pot of Vietnamese noodles.... 
Fusion of the east and west....
Something I won't be able to get from my hometown for sure...
Now I am missing the winter!

  1. I love seafood too but they are not cheap here. When it is cold, everything tastes good. Here, you will be tempted to eat out instead of cooking all the time. Lol!

  2. Mussels, prawns and clam for the win! We love those so much, just throw into the steamboat, so nice to eat and the soup will turn out really sweet and delicious!

    I'm not into Korean but the ladies in the house are so into Korean dishes - in fact, I have a Korean dish in my blogpost tomorrow. My girl cooked it that day! Hop over, ya!!!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
